[Pan-users] Thank you for Pan.

[Bryan Anderson]

Just want to say thank you for all the work that's gone into Pan. It's 
the best newsreader for me under Linux - an operating system that I now 
have about a months experience with, having come from XP (using Agent 
for news there).

Just a couple of (minor) points though:

(a) is there any reason why I can't select more than two messages to be 
'deleted' from my message list? Assuming I have a thread that is fifteen 
messages long and I have read them all and now want to remove them. If I
close the thread and hit 'del' then great, they all go. If I wanted to 
delete just ten of them, I ought to be able to highlight one, then shift 
and down arrow to the last one, hit delete. As it is, shift and down 
arrow will highlight the second message, then on the next down arrow, it 
will highlight the third message but un-highlight the second.

(b) any chance of an option to NOT to have to hit return to display the 
currently highlighted message? I tend to use my newsreader offline, tho'
I do have always on broadband. I check for new headers, down load them 
all, along with the bodies. I then tend to use the keyboard to view the 
messages - up and down along the message list, right to open a thread, 
left to close a thread, del to remove the message if I don't want to 
keep it, etc.

The only problem is that when I use the arrow keys up and down, the 
highlighted message isn't displayed until I hit return. Means two 
key-presses when one would do.

(c) any chance of a folder where I could store messages that I want to 
archive? Either one folder that I can make subfolders in, or one archive 
folder per newsgroup?

Keep it up! And if you need any help (that doesn't involve coding!) then 
let me know.
